can't think of an ad

The point of an ad is sometimes just to get the company name into your brain. Then at some point in the future, you're thinking that you need a new couch, and your brain knows what couch companies exist. You feel like you came up with the idea on your own and that ad don't affect you. But it did.

You are literally describing the middle person in this meme.

oh yeah. I don't think adds don't effect me in terms of knowing something exists over not knowing they exist but its ineffective for purchase decision.
